Is better tank this season, trust me

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I mean.... it would fit in the Warriors timeline.



:MARIS61:

Well, actually after we acquire these players, if they do not instantly become a contender we can trade them again for hypothetical draft picks!

 

[BlazerWookee]

Eff the draft. Play to win, period.

 

[H.C.]

Before you make threads like this do you people ever think to yourself.
'Maybe I shouldn't make this thread?'
If not perhaps you should.

 

[jlprk]

Olshey better make some trades.

He doesn't have the talent. Trades: giveaways except the injury-prone Nurkic, depending upon his future injuries. Free agents: each signing has each been enabled by giving the player a big raise.

 

[Nate]

Neil needs to go. Same with terry.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Earliest tank request ever!

Happy Tanksgiving everybody!

 

[Cippy91]

This team keeps Meyers Leonard around, what in the hell makes you think cj would be traded? The summer of signings fucked us. Our trade assets aren’t great at all. Won’t get us anything. Blame the organization and olshey.

 

[joeBlazers]

Serious question: What happened to Jusuf and E.T.?
E.T. is getting paid big time. Jusuf wants to get paid. But their production has been dismal to say the least.

 

[BrunoSOC]

We need a big upgrade at SF spot

 

[Strenuus]

 

[BonesJones]

Ha yeah. No tanking needed for lottery. How are those season predictions going for everyone?

I mean, we're above .500...

 

[Sarni]

This team does not have the upside to compete for championship or even have a deep playoffs run. I would not say clearly tank but we need to reshuffle a bit to become competitive, this group will not get us that.

I wish we had fluked our way into top seeds last year and got Jayson Tatum, instead of losing 4-0 to Warriors.

This year all of top 5 picks will be massive talents. Players like Ayton, Bagley or Bamba could change the dynamics of this team.

 

[Mediocre Man]

we not gonna win anything, and a good pick can be value in a trade for a guy who can really help us. I say get a top 5 pick and trade for some one at Sf.

We just lost to the king after get 2 wins in a row. We are fucking garbage for real. Trash team! If we can make the playoffs, AND WHAT? Be sweep by the GSW or rockets? We are TRASH, MEDIOCRE AND UNLUCKY TEAM.

I'm sorry for the hell you are about to receive

 

[Mediocre Man]

Some of you will always have an excuse... the victim mentality... losses to Kings and Nets are inexcusable

Not that I disagree with you, but why are they inexcusable? Maybe we aren't that good? Maybe the roster is a complete clusterfuck?

 

[TBpup]

Trade for what "SF who can help us"? We need free agents to want to play for us. If we suck, they definitely won't.

We had the most cap space of anyone in the league and couldn't get anyone good to come here. FA just won't come here. Melo would even allow being traded here. This tram has to build through the Draft and mid 1st round picks aren't going to do it. They need a franchise changer.

 

[Blazinaway]

It's going to be a long season, if it continues like this for much longer I sure hope we make some significant decisions and perhaps changes on the direction we go. Unfortunately if we decide to make major changes the summer of 16's over spending spree for mediocre talent is going to make things more difficult

 

[kjironman1]

How do you tank?

Thank you!!!!!!!
Somebody please somewhere get this dude a chill pill.
Fucking Tank! Give me a break.

ET is an east-coast team player. We need to find a deal that sends him out.

Nurkic, I actually have no problem with slightly underperforming this year. If we can sign him for significantly less than max then that is great. I know it isn't going to be a long-term issue with him.

 

[craigehlo]

ET and our 1st round pick next year for Kent Bazemore. He's a serious upgrade and a realistic target since they are floundering.

 

[kjironman1]

Fucking Tank Thread in November. What the actual FUCK is this about?

I wouldn't give him more than 70/4. Like i allways say, Nurkic is one of the most stupiedest Player in the league without any Basketball Iq. He can not play defense without Fouling and he makes to many turnovers. He can only Score around the rim or from midrange when he is open. He is not that good as i tought. And the other things is, there are not many teams with cap next summer who can and wants to give him a max. So we have absolutely no pressure for the extension. Maybe if we are lucky he accept the offer sheet just like Nerlens Noel and we have him for another year on his rookie contract, that would be the jackpot.

People don't understand what tanking is. Teams are built to tank, you don't ask players to intentionally lose games. That's what threads like these are asking. If the Blazers really wanted to tank they would bench Lillard and CJ for the rest of the season. Ain't happening.

If you are going to bother calling out someone for being stupid you might want to actually not make your own self look even more stupid in the process.

Sry bro my english is not the best but I guess you know what I mean. Look how often he loses the ball after a Pnr with Dame because he can not handle the ball, or he makes a dumb pass because he thinks he is the best passing center in the league and it ends in a turnover. That's stupid and nothing else

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Sry bro my english is not the best but I guess you know what I mean.

No worries on the English but I don't know what you mean because I don't see Nurkic near the stupidest player in the league. Players with little to no BBIQ include: Beasley, Young, McGee and Smith.

 

[stampedehero]

Why burn the ship so early in the season? In the most dire situation, an assistant coach should replace Stotts. We have talent but the coaching in the last quarter is our Achilles heel.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[Trackjack]

The big problem is that the pieces don't fit Stotts system. Turner doesn't fit Stotts system yes I know why they sign him the problem he is not that great ball handler and occasional he has good shooting night. Harkless doesn't fit the system he can't shoot well enough from the outside to be effective. But he is the type player that needs come off the bench for maybe defense purposes. Then there others players on this team maybe shouldn't be in the league. The fault heavenly lies on Olshey shoulders due to he either trade for players or draft them on this team. Now this will be the same guy will tell everyone how agressive he is but really he as his finger up his ass and do nothing or wait until trade deadline and try accomplish something.
